Research Quality Measurements with Routine Simplicity

A high-intensity xenon lamp and dual-beam optical geometry empower the GENESYS 10S

UV-Vis spectrophotometer to deliver unsurpassed data quality throughout the entire

UV-Visible range. Firing pulses of light only when the instrument is taking a measurement,

the xenon lamp provides strong illumination from the UV to the near-IR region of the spectrum.

The GENESYS 10S UV-Vis uses dual-beam optics to make accurate measurements. Because the light from the xenon lamp is very intense, a beam splitter can be used to extract and measure a small portion of light to an internal reference detector without a loss of performance in sample measurement. This allows simultaneous measurement of the sample with real-time reference beam correction for each flash of the lamp.

The dual-beam optical configuration has performance advantages over single-beam and array detector instruments and ensures:

• Each measurement is as accurate as possible – reference beam correction on each data point

• Superior photometric accuracy over long measurements – no drift

• Peaks do not shift as the scan speed changes

Flexible 1.8 nm Bandwidth

The GENESYS 10S UV-Vis balances regulatory compliance with sensitivity. A 1.8 nm spectral bandwidth allows the system to meet Pharmacopeia requirements for resolution. The 1.8 nm bandwidth permits more light energy to reach the sample resulting in lower detection limits and superior signal-to-noise performance.

Xenon Flash LampLong lifetime lamp is guaranteed for 3 years of continuous use.

Patented Out-of-Plane Monochromator ConfigurationEnables maximum performance with a minimum footprint.

Sample DetectorPrecision silicon detectors allow measurements from the UV to the near-IR.

Instant-On and Maintenance-Free Xenon Lamp

The xenon lamp in the GENESYS 10S UV-Vis spectrophotometer provides excellent performance over the entire wavelength range of 190–1100 nm. It also provides intense light in the UV region of the spectrum adding sensitivity for life science, environmental, and organic chemistry applications.

Guaranteed for 3 years of continuous use, the xenon lamp typically provides 5 to 7 years of maintenance-free performance. The lamp may not need replacing over the entire lifetime of the instrument – as it is only on when taking measurements. The benefits of the xenon lamp include:

• No warm-up – instant measurements

• Long life – rarely replaced over the life of the instrument

• Will not damage sensitive samples – does not continuously expose sample to intense UV light

• Temperature stability – does not change sample compartment temperature
